<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2468992, member: 24314&quot;]Well, we&#039;ll just need to disagree <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I have actually seen the 4 plotted positions on red uncirculated 1914-D Lincoln cents. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; They were all photographed using the same magnification and lighting.&nbsp; Overlays were made using negatives.&nbsp; That was good enough for the authenticators at ANACS in the early 1970&#039;s and that was taught in authentication classes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I guess that was just a case of some diagnostic information not being transferred/taught to the rookie crew that took over ANACS after the move to Colorado in late 1970&#039;s.&nbsp; Fortunately, by the mid 1980&#039;s with some staff additions, ANA had a great group of professionals working there.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I am astounded that (what I thought was common knowledge) no info on 14-D&#039;s is available in books or online.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still plan to call the guys at the modern ANACS.&nbsp; As far as I know a fifth position has not been discovered by anyone (except you - congratulations!) in over forty years. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>See, I can play fair...I agreed with you and provided evidence to confirm your opinion when it was correct: professional authenticators can make mistakes. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
